28. Best to avoid cult members.

Thu Dec 26, 2024, 12:19 AM

Dec 26

They live in a fantasy world where "Fearless Leader" and propaganda ministers are the only source, and contradiction is just fine.

All that matters to the cult members is not being "one of the others"

All that matters to the leaders is greed, power, control of others, sexual domination and abuse. Not bad, eh?

And they call it divine.
